in iraq exposed lawyers push for a full public inquiry into the alleged torture and murder of civilians by u.k. soldiers. here we have johnny walker black label we have johnny walker red label over here and we even have over four different kinds of smear and some iraqis smuggling alcohol into neighboring iran is the only way to make a living follows the poor man's trade route. and in business to have a two day national holiday in russia so the bill says i'll close but there's lots of more in twenty minutes. a very warm welcome to you this is r.t. live from moscow georgian opposition leaders say the latest spy scandal involving

four russians is being used by tbilisi to score political points it comes as georgia's interior ministry has confirmed that thirteen people were detained at last month accused for spying for moscow to use i want to let go now joins us with more details live from tbilisi can you tell us bring us up to speed what exactly did the georgian ministry officials have to say at this point. well they basically gathered a whole score of journalists to announce that they have arrested thirteen people four of them are russian nationals like you said the rest of them are georgians are most of them are georgian air force officers there are also some members of n.g.o.s and businessmen but basically georgian minister of interior have said that they have uncovered this enormous aspiring they said that there are a lot more people than just these thirteen that were charged with espionage for russia but the others are coordinating with the ministry of the interior allegedly according again to the ministry they have implanted

a mole into russia's directorate of military intelligence who has in turn supplied information on the all of these people accused of espionage now of course the news broke about this a week ago by the ministry of interior has decided to keep mum about the details probably trying to maybe make it sound little bit more important than it actually is in fact most georgian officials have not said anything on the matter claiming of the fact that this case is top secret and not releasing any information and that's everywhere from the interior ministry to the foreign ministry all the way out to presidential ministration who also claimed to know very little about the case so this these are the details there are the names are known and what will transpire afterwards is yet to be seen the accused will be will be kept in two months of preliminary confinement and then they will stand before a court to hear their sentence. very few comments coming out of. us about russia

what kind of reaction is coming from moscow. well russia is outraged you could say because there are some who are saying that this is happening right only of of the russian nato summit so of course georgia has been trying to get into nato for the longest time and of course they're trying to play on that most likely others are saying that this is a provocation and to far. it's designed to exacerbate tensions between russia and georgia in the relationship that is already a way to tens of course we have to remind our viewers that this is not the first time that a spy is scandal broke out between georgia and russia back in two thousand and six for russian officers were detained and also accused of spying for russia as preposterous as it actually sounds they were leaked released later on but that actually led to the downfall in the relationship between police and mosco and that relationship has been going downhill there was also the south the city in georgian

wore off two thousand and eight in which russia of course the ported south the city here and afterwards diplomatic ties between moscow and beliefs were broken so a lot of people a lot of political analysts and experts see the situation as georgia basically trying. to gain some attention to to attract attention to itself also georgia's opposition leaders are saying that this also could be a way to try and put pressure on them because in the middle of the there were some opposition rallies scheduled to be held and of course that may be a way that georgian government is trying to tell the georgian opposition be quiet or else you will also be accused of espionage because this actually happens to be a rather frequent case in georgia as of late back to you correspondent there reporting from the georgian capital thank you. now let's get some more details on the implications of this developing story now we're joined in the studio by dmitri

babich political analyst nobody could to see you so it's been a week since the so-called arrests were made by tbilisi why is it why have the officials there waited so long to give us details on this. political matter of course if you put yourself in the shoes of really really in a very difficult situation he cannot get their cars here for the second because that will be. political suicide and he cannot put political pressure diplomatic pressure on russia because he was so bad it just created internationally so the only way for him is to organize all kinds of the are stunts to try to attract attention to the problem to shore georgians that he's at least doing something so we've seen or we've seen all these p.r. stunts in the last few months born out of the mourning meant for the second world war i rest in a turkish captain for fourteen years why god will not this now thirteen people arrested in all beaks spy case obviously he expects russia at some moment the

world's patience and to do something dramatic i hope russia will not pull speeches well as far as we know this point the reaction from russia at this point has been quite strong we heard from our reporter. that the foreign ministry has called this entire episode a farce what do you think we could hear further from moscow well i hope this reaction will remain verbal because basically that's exactly what saakashvili would like russia to do something dramatic. increase military presence in a prize yourself to say to you know do something that would make russia look like an aggressor i hope that won't happen because it's clear he is you know it's the only way for him to take attention to himself and these spy cases they actually hit the world of georgia because there is a lot of russian citizens some on georgians in the ninety's the russian embassy gave russian passports to a lot of people so it's

a problem for all of the rebellion regimes in the former soviet union in turkmenistan they're trying to sport to locate the russian citizens because very often the local governments do not know which of their citizens have double citizenship with russia now the georgian opposition says the current administration is somebody using its broken ties with moscow to deflect attention away from home all inside the political system there true go that could be true i'm not georgian so. it's pretty hard for me to say but i've seen several spy cases in the last five years we've had at least fifteen very noisy spy cases in georgia where we have people arrested sentenced to jail for twenty fifteen years and we've never heard the developments it was like bump you know someone is arrested there is a scandal the press reports about it for three days and then we don't see any developments usually or you know as we remember from start in stamps usually that happens when their authority is tried to use it for internal purposes because

usually when a real spy is a risk that the other side is trying to make great efforts to get him on would you bring me to my next point here from an outsider's standpoint could this be an internal scheme to get rid of the political opposition. well. you know it could be part of a larger scheme to get feel their position because actually thirteen people some of them russian citizenship some were some of the russian russian citizens. really big by georgia standards you know saakashvili accused just about all of his political opponents of being russian spies or influence of russia from his former friends across really do you know bill johnson and ups so basically it's nothing new if you really want to get rid of the opposition he should you know invent something more original all right to me political analyst from real thank you for. where you are we all are to you it's good to have your company today and

a plenty ahead for you still this hour including a look behind a sort of blue the independent news of the u.s. sun find out how journalists were engaged to promote war by the white house. one hundred and forty two iraqi civilians who claim they suffered abuse by british soldiers are waiting to hear whether the u.k. has high court to allow a full public inquiry into the. allegations include torture sensory deprivation forced nakedness and stress positions the abuse allegedly took place in british controlled detention centers in iraq between two thousand and three and two thousand and eight the u.k. ministry of defense says it's investigating claims and there's no need for a public inquiry such probe serb already been launched for two similar cases involving the alleged torture and killing of civilians by british soldiers david scheiner one of the lawyers taking the current case to the high court says abuse is widespread and any inquiry has to go public. there's no doubt that this is systemic

within the interrogation. policy because we have those documents from the bar inquiry so we know for example that there was a policy of getting them naked get them a kid keep them like peter if they don't cooperate by the way in which there was still be searched the harshing we have fun video. the training video it's on the bottom mission quite a website is a clearly systemic issues and it's absolute nonsense to suggest it is a few bad apples that's the interrogation policy and needs to be exposed and we need to ensure that we never go into theatre again with with an interrogation policy which is blatantly unlawful or the lack of opportunities in iraq forces many people to make a living illegally often putting their lives at risk just a few dollars artie's it's

a past year mayor made some locals in northern iraq who try to survive by smuggling alcohol across the dangerous border with iran. in northern iraq kurdish smugglers load their horses with hundreds of boxes of booze they're taking into a brain although alcohol is forbidden in the public much of tehran's boars wasn't can't resist a drink and these smugglers provide them with an extraordinary selection we hear in a smuggler storm in a mountainous area of northern iraq that borders around we have absolute fuck you here teachers you ski here mr chavez whiskey black and white whiskey back here we have johnny walker black label we have johnny walker red label over here and we even have over four different kinds of smear not. this box of what will cost the smuggler one hundred five dollars in iraq he will sell it in tehran for over four hundred of all the profits appear amends to men who actually take the dangerous

journey are paid a mere fifty dollars a night this is not work for those looking to make a fortune he does work for the poor uneducated in desperate dollars that i do this because i'm a literate i don't know how to do so this is the only job i can do out of the rain is brutal in its approach to keep alcohol out a smuggler recently arrested and was sentenced to life by others who have been wounded in police ambushes have been fined up to half a million dollars and then charged the price of the bullets that were shot at them with a mind they stepped on oh yeah we crossed the border and there are explosions shootings arrests or fights terrible nothing we can do because we have who are. not only is the job dangerous but the living conditions are bleak on the iraqi side of the small river that makes the border so it's a series of shanty towns full of tattered shacks they serve a small shelters for the smugglers as well as stables for the horses the place is filthy and stinks of course down there and man it is this isn't

a lion there's no food or drink it's given the cold in the wet now and it will leave you down. on the other side said hundreds of a rainy. border police some in concrete towers others in canvas tents put. in their pursuit to keep the smugglers out of their country a few days before we arrived we mounted an ambush on one of the smugglers. came from the other side and took three of my muse back across the border and shot everyone. the remains left the corpses rotting on the riverbank as a warning to the smugglers nine a phone call comes in soon the route is clear the smugglers quickly finish packing their horses and then take off towards the border what awaits them on the iranian side is uncertain what is certain is tomorrow the same dangerous job away to those who are desperate enough to do it sebastian my own party on the iran iraq border. now for the first time ever the us is coming under review by the un human rights

council the body will examine allegations of abuse committed by americans to discuss the upcoming session further we're now joined by our seemed executive director of the london based organization cager prisoners so talk to us here what are the main problem areas do you think where the u.s. is likely to face a grilling. oh i mean i think definitely guantanamo bay and the acceptance of these torture those two have to be at the top of any list in terms of human rights abuses that the americans carry out i mean may be close to that would be issues related to the store the practice of the death penalty now you mention the issue of iraq you mentioned guantanamo bay in cuba the session comes on the heels of wiki leaks publishing documents implying u.s. rights abuses in iraq and afghanistan now the wiki leaks founder has just called on washington to conduct our full investigation do you think this could ever happen.

well it's not you know do i think it has to happen you know it has to happen for the people for. the victims of these things i don't think that the americans can go too long in terms of how it's gotten away with this so far and the wiki leaks think has been absolutely brilliant in helping to give some momentum to calls for the americans to actually do some proper formal investigations into these things and it's good that the americans are finally in gauging with human rights council and or be interesting to see whether or not they're actually willing to come under its purview and listen to some of the recommendations that i made now you want to go sions of abuse occurring at guantanamo bay cuba could surface despite president obama's pledge to close the prison might this session have an effect on the situation do you think. i mean the reality is is that international condemnation

against guantanamo bay has been as strong as anything else really and if the americans weren't going to close it because of that already i don't think there's anything else that's really going to help convince them this is now really become a problem within america itself you know do the american people does its government have the strength to be able to do the right thing and close the base regardless of how much the rest of the world jumps up and down about one time and the reality is that this has to come from inside america that there are groups inside the u.s. that have also highlighted internal rights abuses one of the main issues here we're talking about the death penalty harsh treatment of him of immigrants what do you know here. yeah i mean but both really death penalty is always going to be an issue the kind of disproportionate way that it's used against ethnic minorities i mean particularly people from. an african-american background but then of course the

kinds of immigration legislation and policies that are being metadata against the hispanic community in particular you know these are all really problematic and the u.s. is going to find a very very difficult on some very difficult questions that are being asked about this and i am running out of time here but finally what do you think was behind president obama's decision for the u.s. to join the human rights council was it a genuine move to improve the country's record or just an effort to raise his own popularity. and the cynic in me says that it's an effort to raise its own popularity we've seen the americans engage in such kind of bodies before and it's a never taken world to being criticized or ever acted upon the recommendation is very rare for them to actually get involved but when they do get involved in these types of things it's usually on their own terms. what do you think. of the impact this session is going to have over although we talk about internal politics inside

capitol hill your reaction. i mean you know this is going to have very very limited impact because the people who already disengaged from that possible don't want to engage in that process will say exactly the same thing that this is internationalism going crazy that the americans are effectively selling themselves out to other nations around iran to criticize them and so those same debates will continue to take place that have always taken place and in fact all it will probably do is polarize the american america's politics regarding its engagement with the international community even further assume correctly from the human rights organization cage prisoners live from london thank you. well one state's efforts to promote its democratic interests have led to some shocking results across the world so-called independent media sources have been sponsored by the u.s. government for nearly thirty years to give in to the public of the need for america's

wars artie's kalen for reports on the recently declassified evidence. when most americans open a newspaper they expect all the news that's fit to print not to plan but declassified documents show that in the one nine hundred eighty s. the state department was doing exactly that known as white propaganda editorials and stories were planted and pushed in major u.s. media outlets the washington post c.b.s. usa today the new york times and more. ensuring favorable coverage of the controversial contra war in central america the office of public diplomacy had a very innocuous sounding name but in fact it was a sinister covert office running eagle propaganda operations hello my name is art all right meet the man at the forefront of this effort cuban american cold warriors and former head of the office of public diplomacy for latin

america has the reputation of a tough operator that's a lie you are telling a lie employing special psychological operations experts to craft messages for the american public putting people secretly on the u.s. payroll reporters writers and having them then pretend to be independent and writing op ed pieces and nobody would know that this was a u.s. government financed and directed opinion but from these declassified documents we know that auto reich was behind these similar tactics were used by the bush administration and the lead up to the iraq war the iraq war is a textbook case of how a government or a couple within a government uses propaganda planting stories in the u.s. media to convert public opinion favorably toward a war within a matter of days on september eighth the new york times michael gordon judith miller published a front page long story you know which they talked about how u.s.

intelligence officials. found out that saddam hussein had purchased llewyn tubes which they believed could only be used for nuclear weapons what they did not say of course was that that was a minority view within the intelligence community the drums of war beat faster the u.s. invaded in march two thousand and three in two thousand and nine immediately after the president of honduras was overthrown in a military coup are reich resurfaced in the mainstream media quoted by columnists interviewed by pundits. well what i want to know about stuff like this there's nobody else better to call on than the guy you're about to meet right here you could better explain what is happening and just about everybody else otto reich is talking about every since he was in charge of what he was doing back in the eighty's and he's been around like like a ghost and you see him personally writing op eds for important newspapers in

the u.s. and you see him working behind the scenes for the mongers in honduras and what you what you have to wonder is who's paying him to do so why propaganda has proven effective in garnering support for america's more contentious foreign policy the office of public diplomacy it became the sacrificial lamb of the iran contra scandal follow your congressional investigation but otto reich moved on unscathed first to become ambassador to venezuela then assistant secretary of state he remains an influential consultant here in washington frequently quoted in the media and regularly called to testify here on capitol hill as an expert witness for r. t. washington d.c. the business news is next with you. hello and a very warm welcome to the business program here on our team well the dollar has

dropped for the second month against the euro and the yen as the federal reserve announced its fresh stimulus to boost the seguing u.s. economy the u.s. central bank is to spend six hundred billion dollars on long term treasury bonds until the end of june next year stocks rallied on the news but the greenback fell to a fifteen year low against the yen. now the skies are open once again across moscow russian pilots no longer need to seek permission to fly in the city but while certain regulations for light weight have been counseled some obstacles remain as an aid much better explains. skies over russia open to small of the session as of this week light aircraft flying below three thousand meters no longer have to seek permission from their route twenty four hours it had been given permission authority is now required pilots to notify them of their flight plans small of nation existence is far from floor xing and while the new rules are welcome once

one doesn't make a summer as the saying goes on an international regulations regional regulations are still an obstacle to open skies it's rather small but important development for russia's air in this tree well it gets a little small aviation can become a good base the pilot training because now we are facing a serious deficit of pilots. also keep alive the whole array of regional airports all over russia in the future and may even form the basis of commercial transportation. unlike europe and united states flights over big cities up and regional flights have to navigate a mountain of people who are it requires commercial and political will to develop the segment legislation might ease the way through but it wouldn't change dramatically if saw a market driven. and in our case or in case of the aviation market development in russia it's about the mentality change flying around

russia even in small planes is still a lot of room then an everyday reality with the russian downstair too easy to develop air transportation at all levels we're going to starting small but the potential benefits are huge. in any major business our cheek and. the u.s. dollar has dropped for the second month against the euro and the year as the federal reserve announced its fresh stimulus to boost the economy this is in line with critics expectations they also claim the fed's initiative to pump six hundred hundred billion dollars into the u.s. will spark a fresh lot of capital inflows into emerging markets and lead to inflation. decision to increase quantitative easing by six hundred billion dollars is a complete disaster i mean we're not in a situation where the total is going to be something like eight hundred fifty to nine hundred billion dollars by the end of next year and that's going to be approximately one hundred ten billion per month which effectively means that really

what we're seeing is a sort of a repurchase agreement of the american deficit if you look at the economics actually manufacturing was rebounding in october according to american statistics prove there hasn't been a particularly exciting number of private sector hiring but the truth is that actually the job picture was improving ever so slightly within the private sector which is the engine of the american economy the american government is certainly not the retail sales have been remarkably strong over the course of time therefore it's quite bizarre because what we're risking is an economic and market distortions the dollar is being pushed through the floor and that's really the sort of upholding beggar's our neighbor kind of approach which isn't going to help the american economy because it's simply making imported foodstuffs more and more expensive and creating inflation for the average working mom while at the same time it's basically leaving places like the eurozone with a further problem because it's increasing the value of the currency and making

those economies less competitive. some look at some market numbers another koreans like what asian stocks they were high on friday following the gains on wall street and wanted to related shares along the line to emerge and the maternal metal mining was up five point three percent and in fact gained two point four percent in tokyo . and european stocks but just taping into the red is and that was look to cash in on big strong gains there are forces ahead of us jobs data needs again as a rule bank of london this deal with shares up around. some news right now russian portal mail dot our usage to forty one percent in london up to raising nine hundred twelve million dollars and this is his biggest i.p.o. since july the stock which is a russian investing the same has climbed from eleven point three thirty nine dollars in london trading today at that rise male to.
